Reed (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Reed was designated for return from injured reserve last week, opening his 21-day practice window. His potential return would be a big boost to the lineup after Terrion Arnold (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's game. Amik Robertson and Rock Ya-Sin played virtually every defensive snap at cornerback last Sunday against the Eagles.

Rotowire

Reed has a chance to return from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury that caused him to land on injured reserve in early October.

Rotowire
Reed finished the regular season with 64 tackles (52 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with 11 pass defenses over 14 games (all starts).

Rotowire
Reed (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Reed was listed as doubtful Friday but has been downgraded to out Saturday, which shouldn't come as a surprise given his lack of activity in practice over the last few days.

Rotowire
Reed finished the 2023 season with 76 tackles (62 solo) and one interception among his nine passes defensed in 15 games.
Sauce Gardner, Reed and nickel cornerback Michael Carter formed the league's stingiest cornerback trio.

All three cornerbacks are projected to be back in 2024, with Reed entering the final year of his contract with the Jets.
